It has been forever since I've posted anything. But I keep chipping away at this hobby - and here is the latest.

It's 16 1/4" across the lower bout.
25 1/2" scale (big thanks to Andy Birko for a beautiful fretboard).
Sitka top (student grade, because I don't mind wood that looks like wood - came from RC and sounds amazing!).
Honduras mahogany came from Shane (gonna miss him).
Cocobolo binding (back wedge from RC).
The finish is EM6000, brushed, and buffed with a random orbital.
Pickup is the DTAR Dual source Wavelength.

I'll play it for a while until I figure out who the new owner might be.

No worries, i just wanted to let you know... It seems you need to make the pics public, it's asking me to "request access".

Google Drive-access denied. You really should try Picasa, Imgur, or even Photobucket.

I tried to attach them straight in but couldn't seem to do it.
I think I've got it solved now.
Not great pics at all, but it's something.

If you can, post the photos here. Nothing more annoying than looking through old posts and viewing an image that doesn't exist anymore. You know?

Sorry folks. It's driving me nuts too. There's a good reason why I spend time in the shop rather than at the computer.
We'll give the photobucket a try.

You can also upload directly to the OLF instead of linking.
Use the "upload attachment" tool below.

I tried that a few times Lance. Saw the meter run while it was uploading. But nothing showed up. Can't figure out why.
I much prefer to see photos right in the post, but can't seem to manage.

Can someone tell me if new photo bucket link is working for them.

Tried a few times but couldn't get through. Third time lucky, though, and was worth the effort Phil! Really sweet looking guitar. The arm bevel looks nicely done, along with everything else!

That is beautiful work! I like so many things about ti that it's hard to pick just a couple. Especially like the back and the arm bevel! As to the student grade top, it doesn't really look like that to me!
